Just called NVC and received those magic words...Case Complete.

Thanks to everyone for their support and wisdom.

This process would've been a lot more difficult without the VJ community.

Best wishes to everyone for speedy processing...and I hope some of you

will benefit from the NVC guide Nimche and I put together.

LingChe NVC Guide

Using this guide may allow you to fly through NVC in as little as 11 days.

Sgr, we scheduled a K-3 interview that we're exchanging for the CR-1. That allowed us to grab a slot at the Embassy early.
